Economical Levobupivacaine Synthesis Process
The proposed technology suggests a novel method of producing levobupivacaine by catalytic asymmetric synthesis route. The method uses easily available synthons as the starting materials and avoids the use of expensive resolving agents in the synthesis process. This method achieves high chemical yield of final product levobupivacaine i.e. to the extent of 65 percent of overall yield and the final product is obtained in enantiomeric excess of >98 percent. The process involves fewer steps than the existing processes.
